A photograph taken down a covered, dim walkway toward a temple shrine. A narrow red carpet runs down the centre between metal railings, and a few silhouetted people stand or walk along it toward the lit shrine. At the far end, a deity murti with ornate golden and red decorations sits in a glowing arched niche flanked by pink and orange cloth drapes. Hanging dark banners line the ceiling and walls. Several dim figures, including a person in dark clothes near the centre, are visible. No figure can be confidently identified as a person from appearance.

Photograph of a covered walkway leading toward a shrine, lit from the far end. A red carpet runs down the centre between metal railings. At the far end, a brightly coloured deity murti with red and gold decoration sits inside an ornate arched niche with pink curtains on either side. Several people stand and walk in the dimly lit passage; one silhouetted figure in dark clothing walks along the red carpet toward the shrine. Hanging decorative banners line the ceiling and walls.

A covered hall with a corrugated metal roof leads along a red carpet toward a shrine. Steel railings line both sides of the walkway. Two or three people in plain clothing walk away from the viewer toward the back of the hall, one in a dark dress and others in lighter garments. At the far end, a colourful deity murti stands in an ornate red and gold shrine with pillars and a red curtain. Decorative hanging banners with floral and bird motifs in orange, red and blue hang from the ceiling, and framed pictures are mounted on the side walls. No one is identifiable as a person here.

A dim covered walkway with a dark red carpet runs toward a shrine lit by a warm glow. Inside the shrine, large brightly coloured deity murti stand together, one in red and gold and one in blue with gold ornaments, flanked by red curtains and a small altar. A single woman in dark clothing walks along the carpet toward the shrine, and two or three other people stand near the right side in light and dark clothing. Metal railings line both sides of the path, and hanging cylindrical banners decorate the ceiling area. The scene is quiet and largely shadowed.

A photograph of a covered walkway with metal railings and a long red carpet leading toward a temple shrine. At the end of the path, a deity murti dressed in yellow and pink garments stands within a golden arched frame, with a blue-draped seated figure in the foreground. Red curtains, hanging lamps and potted plants line the passage. No people are visible in the scene.

A photograph taken from behind a silhouetted figure in a long dark robe walking down a red carpet between steel railings toward a decorated shrine inside a covered hall. The shrine is framed by garlands of marigolds and green banana leaves and features a deity murti with a gold-toned backdrop. Several people in white and orange-red clothing stand along the railings on both sides, and a figure in orange is visible at the left edge. The figure walking is in shadow, so no features or clothing details can be made out beyond the dark silhouette.

A covered walkway with a red carpet runner leads toward a temple shrine holding a large deity murti of a seated divine couple, with a turquoise backdrop and garlands. A woman in a red sari walks up the aisle toward the shrine. Another woman in an orange sari stands at right with hands joined in prayer, and a man in a red shirt stands at left holding a camera. Metal railings line the path, with saffron and white cloth hangings and a striped wall panel.
